Hawle Street chapel, Hull in 1894

[sooty tern]

My great grandfather John Laycock Bland married Louisa Feneley Johnson in 1894 at the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Hawle Street, which I believe was in central Hull but is not listed today. Her father William Johnson was a strict Methodist and owner of William Johnson & Co. of Neptune Street, Hull, a tinplate and iron plate manufacturer of ventilation cowls and tanks. I think he later moved to Withernsea. Can anyone tell me where Hawle Street was, and throw any light on William's company? Any snippet gratefully received!

Might be something here. https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ERY/Hull/HullStreets

I'll see what else I can find

There is the 1891 census street index, but I see nothing for Hawle st..

nor in Sculcoates 1891.

Scratching my head a bit here. Hull history centre may be worth contacting if we get no further here

Are you absolutely sure it was "Hawle Street"?

Google is throwing up anything at all!
Also tried Hawley Street, but no joy there either.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat...I grew up in Hull but haven't heard of that street, this might help:

I wonder - could Hawle be a misreading of handwritten Hessle, and Street a simple mistake for Road?

The list of streets that's been given shows a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Hessle Road, between nos. 159 and 163, apparently at or near the junction with Madeley Street.

It seemed unlikely when I was looking at the chapel list in the link(s).
The building as far as I can tell is still there. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7365037,-0.358409,3a,75y,134.11h,96.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suJSujOR_Kt1Fqq9H7yVC2Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1209017
Hessle Road, City Temple: the former Primitive Methodist chapel.

I just cannot visualise how an atrocious hand could turn Hessle into Hawle AND Road into Street.

IF the OP ever comes back, perhaps we could get a gander at the certficate.
